@Kirwan MSFS? Pretty good, some of the flight models feel very accurate. I've spent a fair bit of timme flying around in a (paid for) RAF Hawk, pretty good. The guy in the vid is ex RAF pilot, Hawk instructor, so much more stick time than me! He is praises the accuracy. The Hawk is cool, cos it's old fashioned, dials and stuff, and very little to learn. But still a 500 knot jet, fun to blast around the southern alps etc
Awesome. I’ve played these since 1990ish, when the buildings were yellow blocks.
Have no idea how realistic the flying is.
It's a pretty amazing game, and the mods you can get are increasing. Real time weather pretty special too

I remember playing this on green screen on my mates dad's accounting computer. Awesome, and frustrating!
‘I saw the possibility of what could be done – so I did it’: revolutionary video game The Hobbit turns 40
The developer of the text-adventure game on how, at 20, she overcame 1980s misogyny to turn a Tolkien book into one of the most groundbreaking titles in the gaming canon

I've put a few hours into Call of Duty Modern Warfare II now and apart from a noticeable decrease in reaction time, it's entertaining as usual.
Plenty of issues as you'd expect in a big budget, multi console/ PC game. But occasionally it's a bunch of fun.

This is a fantastic game that I play with the boys.
I’ve actually improved and can sneak a couple of wins with Boba Fett against them. Getting in close with the flamethrower punches can actually cause the Jedi characters all sorts of problems.
They’re hoping that an update comes out with all the newer characters. Mando, Fennic, Cara, Greef, Ashoka etc which would be great fun.

@NTA It's fucken cool right. This is my first proper time trying VR and it's awesome. Played a few demos (Star Wars, Horizon etc.) and purchased Kayak.
Only problem for me is that I played the Kayaking game for about 15 minutes and started to get the cold sweats and thought I was going to vomit.
I love it but might have to sell it if I can't get used to the motion. Will try a few other games (Drums Rock, Swordsman) and see how it goes.

It might week be you need to fiddle with the settings. I'm not sure about PS but PC VR had a lot you can change to get it right for you. I often use the teleport movement, I guess that wouldn't work in kayak. But I tell you half life alyx is the best game I've played, so good. VR can be amazing, great for Sims too

Yep that one is on the boys list for his birthday next week although not released until May so he’ll have to wait.
I do love sitting watching him play, the scope in those games is pretty incredible.

I know plenty of Switch users and they love them. I just can't see why myself, I guess I should ask for a demo and playtest it.
The best Dishonored game goes free on the Epic Store next week
